Anybody have a link to the best way to remove the airbox "Buell" and "American Motorcycles" sticker thingys? Couldn't find it in a search!

Heat them up with a hair dryer, pull them off, and then use a little goo-be-gone to clean it up...

agreed, heat 'em up a little.

mine came right off from being in the sun. the one i wanted to leave on, fly screen graphic, is coming right off anyway. glad i don't like decals cause it seems the adhesive is weak on those suckers.

You really don't even need to heat them up. I took mine off by just pulling on them while it was sitting in the garage. I find that WD-40 works best to get the residue off since it's in most garages.

I do not plan on removing my "sticker thingys" yet, but does anyone know if it is safe to use Goo Gone or WD40 on the Hero Blue translucent airbox cover on the XB9SX? Does it leave a hazy residue like gasoline? Thanks.

I have never used googone, but I have used WD-40 for just about everything, including clear plastic. If there is a residue, you can wash it off with soap and hot water. I have never had a problem with it leaving anything on plastic. I don't think the clear blue stuff would be any different.

if the wd is left on for a long far, it can craze some plastics -- just make sure ya get it off (soap and water) PDQ, and you'll be fine

o, yeah, when using the peanut butter, don't use chunky -- THAT make scratch the finish
